Week 30/31 Appt

Today we went in for our 31 week appointment, but it's a few days early. Week 31 will actually be on Thursday. We went early to see the specific doctor who will be delivering the amigos, and he was supposed to be there, but wasn't. Anyway, we also went last week for week 30 appointment, and did a growth ultrasound. This is where they measure the boys to estimate how they're growing, if they're on track and if they're similar enough to each other to not indicate any other issues. So here's what we found out: (Remember this was done at 29 weeks and 6 days)

Baby A - 29 weeks, 6 days - 3 lb. 4 oz. (this is exactly the 50th percentile for a singleton)

Baby B - 31 weeks, 2 days - 3 lb. 8 oz

Baby C - 31 weeks, 2 days - 3 lb. 15 oz. (this is around the 70th percentile for a singleton!)

So as you can see, all are healthy and Baby C is a chunker! The doctors are really happy with their sizes. There is an 18% difference in size between A and C, but that is considered normal up to 20%. No cause for concern at all. Below is a 3D pic of Baby B. It's getting really hard to get these images, because it's crowded in there! He is on the left - I think he looks like John!


Speaking of size, lots of requests for belly pics have led me to post these pics. This might be the last time I actually show the belly, simply for humility's sake. I know there's lots of interest in the dolphin too, so here it is. Oh my!
